Chapter 167: The Jackal's Raid

Breaking free from that eerie dream, Luo Ming fell into a deep sleep again and rested for a few hours.

Then, he felt something touch on his back a few times, and gradually, consciousness returned.

It was Grant who was using a branch to wake him up.

Many people may think that when people are suddenly woken up, they are likely to be in a daze for a long time, or they are startled, and then they lose their temper and yell at the person who woke them up.

But all of this, in the final analysis, is just a lack of preparation.

If you are mentally prepared in advance and think that you are going to wake up at that point, then if you are woken up at that time, you will mutter at most two indistinct sounds, and then quickly regain consciousness.

Of course, if you're too tired, that's a different story.

In fact, people who are energetic and have maintained a scientific sleep habit can often open their eyes a few minutes before the alarm goes off.

And Luo Ming woke up at this time, the sky was not fully bright, and it was actually about an hour or two earlier than his usual time of getting up.

But fortunately, he is now a sword master, and after recuperating in the previous week, a little lack of sleep will not have much effect.

Luo Ming remained awake and opened his eyes, but his body still barely moved, and he lay there.

Just control the muscles around your body to make subtle movements, and breathe slowly and deeply, so that the power of the fresh air spreads throughout your body.

At the same time, Grant yawned, then leaned against the stump and closed her eyes.

In the faint glimmer of the morning light, she

This is not a show - although the swordsman has a higher tolerance for fatigue, fatigue will still occur after staying up all night. As long as you give up resistance completely, drowsiness will quickly spread throughout your body.

And now that Luo Ming has woken up, she doesn't have to tense her nerves anymore. She trusted Luo Ming, so she quickly relaxed, and it was natural to fall asleep.

And among the night watchmen that Luo Ming ordered before going to bed, some of them were really asleep, maybe more than a while, and the others were also somewhat drowsy.

It can be said that this is another very good time for a raid.

And this time, the jackal man did not live up to Luo Ming's expectations.

It was precisely because Luo Ming did not stand up and was still pretending to be asleep that he could hear the sound of a more distant place from the earth—the sound of solids was much stronger than that of air.

It was footsteps, lighter than normal, but quicker.

You can't go wrong, it's a pack of gnolls approaching.

Then, after a while, not only through the ground, but also in the air, the faint sound of the gnolls could be heard.

This sound is hardly to disturb people who are asleep or drowsy, but it is different for Luo Ming, who is awake.

He can even gradually estimate the distance of the other party - which in itself is a kind of use of sound discrimination.

100 meters, 80 meters...... Fifty meters!

At this distance, if you get closer, even a sleepy person will have a chance to spot them.

And this distance is exactly the right distance to launch an assault! No need to hide, just a wave of assault, or less than ten seconds, most people will be stunned before they can figure out the situation!

"Enemy attack, get up for me!"

And Luo Ming suddenly shouted out in a fit of rage before they could start their assault.

Not only did it startle a group of birds, but at the same time, it also startled the gnolls who were about to launch a surprise attack.

At the same time, Luo Ming had already jumped to his feet, and with a swing of the long sword in his hand, he threw a pale flame in the direction of the more dense gnolls.

Faced with this strange situation, the jackals gave full play to their agility and subconsciously scattered to avoid it.

However, two gnolls were still hit, wrapped in flames, and let out screams, doomed to not survive.

There was also a gnoll whose arm was also stained with cangyan, although it was only the size of a finger, but after scorching the fur, it still had the strength to burn through the skin and ablate into the muscles under the skin.

If you don't make a decision quickly and dig up the whole piece of flesh and blood that was stained with cangyan, you may be able to burn through the bone marrow and nerves and blood vessels, and directly destroy that arm.

Of course, if you dig out a piece of flesh, the arm is also wasted.

Today's Cang Yan, when dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers who don't wear any armor and don't have a fighting spirit to protect their bodies, is as powerful as the white phosphorus bomb that was banned by the conventions signed by various countries in the previous life.

It's a pity that the use of such an attack consumes a lot of money...... Luo Ming's Dou Qi reserves were several times that of ordinary people of the same level, but he could only throw out four or five such large balls of Cangyan.

The gnoll at the head let out a roar of rage, giving the order to attack in a dialect-like tone that was plausible to the lingua franca.

Luo Ming saw very clearly with the help of Cangyan's lighting, there were more than thirty jackals in total, and they were already determined to attack them.

So, would they completely abandon the raid plan and retreat directly because Luo Ming suddenly woke up alone?

This is absolutely impossible, they are not timid rabbits and sheep, but distant relatives of jackals, and even if they are discovered, they will have to be sent at the string, and they will definitely attack once to see the situation.

Especially after Luo Ming also showed his hand and used Cangyan to launch a powerful long-range attack, they knew very well that they had to attack.

It is a very unwise choice to run away in front of a ranged attacker, and if you do, you will only expose your unsuspecting back, and then Luo Ming will easily kill them one by one.

It is necessary to close the distance with Luo Ming in one breath, so as not to become a situation where they are unilaterally beaten.

When these guys rushed towards Lorming, they were as fast as the average sprint, and they still had a little strength left - it only took about seven seconds to cross a distance of fifty meters.

Luo Ming yelled before, although it could wake up most of the people, but as for whether they could quickly adjust themselves and enter the battle state within seven seconds, Luo Ming felt that most people were still useless.

So, he waved his hand and threw out two clouds of cangyan, one to the left and one to the right, temporarily blocking the way of the gnolls in other directions.

Of course, the Cangyan that extends from these two masses is very diluted, that is, it looks good-looking and has little lethality.

Otherwise, Luo Ming's own fighting spirit will be consumed by more than half at once, and it will be a little dangerous if he fights later.

But the gnolls naturally didn't know this inside story, they forcibly changed direction, and then chose to directly attack in Luo Ming's direction.

Although there is also the option of bypassing the Cangyan area and impacting from behind, it will be more troublesome and time-consuming.

Since Luo Ming had specially set aside an opening without Cang Yan, they also chose to attack head-on from here.

This is similar to "three missing one".
